For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving. If you prefer fresh ingredients, feel free to substitute canned tomatoes and corn with fresh alternatives. Grilled corn kernels would add a delightful smoky note. Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to your liking, depending on your spice preference. This salad is best served chilled. Prepare it a few hours ahead of time for optimal flavor development.

Apr 16, 2024I found it a little too spicy for my taste, so I reduced the amount of crushed red pepper flakes. It was perfect after that!
